And now for one of the most bizarre celebrity charity stories ever: Scarlett Johansson is selling the tissue she sneezed into on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show for charity.
The actress appeared on the show on Wednesday night, December 17, with a bad cold she caught from her The Spirit co-star, Samuel L. Jackson. For this reason, she joked that her cold had “value”, and proceeded to blow her nose on a tissue supplied by Leno. The tissue is now up for sale on eBay, with proceeds to go to USA Harvest, Johansson’s charity of choice.
Johannson is a longtime supporter of USA Harvest, and has helped to supply over 9 million meals to the hungry. She also dished out food to the homeless victims of Hurricane Katrina at the Made Love Cafe in St, Benard Parish in New Orleans.
To bid on the once-in-a-lifetime Christmas gift for people who “have everything”, visit eBay. The auction runs until December 22… and you may want to wear rubber gloves.
